The Jewish Agency for Palestine, body recognized by the League of Nations as world Jewry’s representative in Palestine affairs, today denounced the land restriction regulations as a “mockery of the Mandate forbidding racial and religious discrimination.”
A formal statement issued by the Agency expressed regret that the controversy with the British Government had been reopened by announcement of the land ordinance.
It accused the Government of reproducing in Palestine the “root evils” of the dispersion, appealed to the British public to support the struggle against the White Paper and called upon the Jews to work “firm and united for the day when the rule of right is established in the world.”
